In the absence of proper hygienic conditions, resistant strains of bacteria can spread from person to person. Mechanisms of antibiotic resistance Bacteria employ a variety of strategies to modify a ...

An international collaboration has achieved an important breakthrough in understanding the genetic mechanisms that allow ...

Complementary discoveries have the potential to enhance treatment options for antibiotic-resistant infections. Researchers at ...

Researchers made a “huge breakthrough” when they did an experiment “purely out of curiosity” which solves “a decades-long ...

Antibiotic resistance can develop to new antibiotics even before they reach the market, undermining their future ...

The researchers theorise the protective effects of these drugs could be because they reduce inflammation, control infections ...

The results were particularly promising for Staphylococcus aureus (golden staph), a major cause of drug-resistant skin and ...

Our oral and fecal microbiota are distinctly different, both in the organisms present and the resistance mechanisms in those organisms. Antibiotic Resistance in Soil Microbial Communities There ...

The following is a summary of “Antibiotics use decreases survival in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma patients receiving ...

Researchers at the VIB-KU Leuven Center for Microbiology and the VIB-KU Leuven Center for Brain & Disease Research have ...

In Latin America, it appears that bacteria resistant to carbapenem antibiotics have different resistance mechanisms than similar bacteria found in Africa and Asia. Two pathogens of particular ...

[5,23,25–28] It is uncertain what the mechanism is that leads to this difference in re-infection rates. The authors postulate that these oral antibiotics may have prevented biofilm formation on ...
